    That’s a nice hobby or interest you got there. Would be a shame if someone…SHARTED SANTORUM ALL OVER IT!!! Fuck your hobby! It’s part of the trans movement now!!

    And that, they and thems, is why so many people find the movement so God damn insufferable.

      It’s true I can coopt an entire concept into the transgender agenda by making a single meme. Everything you love is now transgender.

        I didn’t say anything about not allowing representation.

        Honestly, my main gripe here is that an intensely emotional scene that is held in such high regard because of the story and context, has been cheapened by adding a sociopolitical slant to it! This moment (which I know does not occur in the book the same way), is about the Mighty King Aragorn, facing his death willingly in service of his friend Frodo.

        That’s it and that’s all. In the context it’s a powerful moment that makes ALL PEOPLE (except maybe sociopaths) feel a sense of honor and comradery for two beloved characters.

        It’s not a fucking allegory for “kids who haven’t even hit puberty yet should be allowed to transition!!”

        Please feel free to create any new story of any kind that represents absolutely every subgroup of person who feels marginalized! (it would have to be a 30 season slog with incessant infighting about which group is more marginalized and thus deserves more representation than the others).

        But then, of course, nobody would watch it (or at least not enough people to warrant a production company spending so much money on such a project) So, we start the cycle over and the trans movement once again has to pirate another big name IP to feel “really seen” (aka, LOOK AT ME!!!)

        I’m sorry to have to break the news here, but the trans community makes up 1.14% of the population of the US!

        I think, considering this data, that it is OVER represented in modern culture!
